giorno;

[loudmouths]

[ it was all semantics, as far as keigo was concerned. he had never heard of such an ability before and had little to go off of. no one back home, not even the shinigami, could do such a thing.

but when giorno transformed the rock into a damn frog, keigo's blood ran cold. seeing it in action was entirely more jarring than merely imagining it. he stared at the little frog as it moved of its own accord, hopping along the dusty floor like it was nothing.

with an unsettled look on his face, keigo glanced up at giorno once more. ]

...I... see...

kashuu;

[loudmouths]

[ keigo was really the source of his own demise; he hyped himself up far too easily to the point of any little thing being more than enough to set him off. funnily enough, the same was true for his temper...

but at any rate, he regained his posture and balance easily enough (call it practice) and clenched his hand to his chest, like he was about to faint or something... he wasn't, thankfully... ]

I-I'm sorry, it just scared me! Wh-what... what is that...

[ keigo stared at the marionette, utterly displeased that such a ...cutesy looking thing could have startled him so badly. ]

vietnam;

[loudmouths]

You're right! People were accusing me of something like that!

[ now he looked rather troubled. ]

I guess that was all one of these ViViD levels, then, huh?

yosuke;

[loudmouths]

[ while yosuke did the dutiful task of examining the bag in front of him, keigo took to looking around them, just in case something decided to sneak up on them... all was pretty quiet, aside from the ambient sounds of the lights fizzling out and snapping back on further down the hall...

keigo returned his attention to the body bag and yosuke's little poking session... no movement... dead body, then. keigo's eyes narrowed. ]

...dead, then...

[ ...which was a little unsettling, considering there were no spirits around. it was a game, he'd have to tell himself over and over again. why would they code ghosts into the game? most people didn't believe in them, anyway. keigo sure didn't, long ago...

he stepped closer behind yosuke, hands coiled around his makeshift weapon, ready for anything...

...except more gregs... ]

...W-what? Another Greg?

[ ...well that was a weird coincidence. ]

Is that a really common English name, or something?

[ like john or james... greg??? ]

felicia;

[loudmouths]

Keigo gave her a nod before starting in what he hoped was the proper direction. He wouldn't move too quickly, so he wouldn't lose her, but he was determined to keep her behind him, at the very least. Having a protective streak was difficult to get used to...

He gave a sort of sheepish laugh at her question, looking straight ahead rather than towards her. It was a little embarrassing to admit to a cute girl... Most guys like him (tall, good-looking, loaded...) didn't spend their time playing video games.

"Aah, well... I play a lot of video games at home..." he admitted, carefully stepping around a cracked spot in the flooring. "And a lot of them have puzzles like this, so if these people program their VR levels anything like the games back home, they might fall into certain patterns that I might be able to pick up on..."

sasuke;

[loudmouths]

Keigo's abilities were still in the fledgling stages, in all honesty. Though he could pinpoint reiatsu to an impressively accurate degree, he lacked a great deal of confidence to speak up about it, unless the situation was dire. Right now, it might have been unsettling, but it was far from dire. He was simply having a difficult time of not sensing... well... anything of note in that area. It just didn't feel right and he couldn't convey that in a way that wouldn't make him sound needlessly paranoid.

He was actually quite interested in what Sasuke described, if only because he couldn't recall the last time he was in an area where electricity was a luxury. Sending messages and letters by animal sounded downright absurd. He quirked a brow, uncertain of how to really take the information loaded on him. "This place must have come as a real shock to you, then..."

zer0

[atlasrising]

[ Wow. Landing in a place that was actually weirder than Pandora was pretty impressive. Not something Rhys would like to brag about this second, though. ]

Okay? So weirder how? You mean weirder than the monsters weird?

[beatofmyblood]

P-Please, sir, it's alright!

[He really does not know how to handle it. The estimates are a little shocking - he's coming from a time where people lived shorter lives than they do in the present, after all - but they're not his primary concern.

It's that his circumstances are disturbingly familiar.]

Even if you're the last of your family...you aren't alone. I'm in the same situation. No matter what other people say, what matters is your drive to live on.

dipper

[beatofmyblood]

[continued from here]

[That is concerning, but...he can't delay this forever, and he'd rather not stay in this level for longer than he needs to. Besides, he's not going to be hung up by a fear of dying.]

That's true, but...well, if anything wants to attack us, I don't want you to be the first thing it decides to go after.

kazuya

[beatofmyblood]

[continued from here]

[So he may clutch at where his kidneys would be after that statement, because holy shit that sounds terrifying. Then again, he...thinks he'd know if he'd lost one? Probably?

Actually, let's not think about that too much.]

I think I have a hold on my bearings for now, at least. Whenever you are ready, I wouldn't mind exploring a little.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[He whines.]

Oh come on, don't call me 'sir' that just means I am old.

[He sighs.]

But, I guess you have a point. My brother used to say that I had an obligation to survive. He always thought we were better than everyone else.

[beatofmyblood]

...I didn't mean to insinuate anything like that, but I suppose times have changed, haven't they? Sorry about that. Is "Mr. Altway" alright, or should I call you Darin?

[That's a bit of a concerning attitude for a brother to have - and one that definitely rings warning bells in someone like Jonathan, but he has no reason or right to assume anything about Darin's brother besides the fact that he may be a little self-important.]

I wouldn't call it an obligation, but I always resolved to live in a way that, if they looked down from Heaven, my family would be proud of what I've done.

mabel

[beatofmyblood]

[continued from here]

[Oh gosh, he's embarrassed. Standards of manners really are different now, aren't they? If anything has become apparent in the short time he's been here, it has been that simple fact.]

Mabel it is, then! I'm at your service, Lady Mabel.

[This time, though, he's being deliberately grandiose, and he's going to ham it up for all it's worth. He bows with a flourish in front of her and glances up to see if she's laughing.]

[adornmental]

[Kashuu, in the meantime, hovers like he's getting ready to help Keigo out if he tumbles over. JUST IN CASE. One can never be too careful with humans who jump as soon as puppets pop out of the abyss at them...]

Um...

[That's a good question, though. He's used to everything in Cerealia trying to kill them, so he approaches its lifeless puppet body with an air of Great Caution... and prods it with the toe of his boot. HM.]

...I think it's just a puppet? It doesn't even seem alive or anything.

[As if he was expecting it to be?!]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Darin's totally fine. I mean, we're friends, yeah? I've never really been one for formalities.

[He rubs the back of his head.]

Nah, Dromas knew we were special...even when we were kids he used to act out. We were stronger than most other kids so...he used to say that he and I were 'destined to be greater than people.'

It used to get on my nerves but...I was too timid to say anything.

[vindicavi]

"To be honest, I hate this place." It's said bluntly, with the same casual inflection as one would use while talking about the weather. He's never really cared for Cerealia or CERES, but he's managed well enough. It just took some getting used to. The CereVice is still a thing he'd prefer to avoid carrying, though. Even now, he still forgets to take it with him half the time.

He pauses for a moment to kick aside some scattered debris, listening for any other signs of life or movement, before resuming the path down long hallways. Talking to Keigo is almost a chore, but there's something about this place that creeps him out -and having spent how long living with Orochimaru, that's saying something. "Everything is either too new-looking or it's decrepit, and I don't understand the need for relying on technology for everything."

mary

[beatofmyblood]

[continued from here]

It was a reasonable question, at least. I suppose it isn't every day you see someone glowing.

[That's a bit of an understatement, Jonathan.]

...if you want, I can tell you more later. But do you get the feeling that something is following us?

hiro

[beatofmyblood]

[continued from here]

[For a moment Jonathan just blinks at the man he's found in front of him - that slang is too far beyond his time, but soon he realizes that his chain has, indeed, been yanked, and it isn't actually December.

He is so fucking confused.]

My clothes?

[And that's when he looks down and realizes what he's wearing.]

My clothes...!

[theshiningone]

Your clothes.

[There's some poker facing going on as Hiro puts on a casually deadpan tone. It's hard to say if he's hiding his amusement really well or if he's genuinely this air-headed.]

You'd be a huge hit with the ladies. A beefcake like you is a walking fangirl parade waiting to happen.

[ONCE AGAIN IN THE DEADPAN TONE.]

[beatofmyblood]

[YOU ARE GOING TO KILL HIM.]

F...Fangirl parade?

[Is he blushing? He might be blushing just a little.]

I hate to burst your bubble, but I'm happily married.

[faceplate]

Glitches in the "code" affect our bodies and minds. We've been changed by them.

[ zer0's voice indicates that they're not pleased at all with the fact. ]

johnny

[beatofmyblood]

[continued from here]

[The polite giant of a man stretches out once he can see the light, and finds someone he immediately recognizes as familiar. He has no way of putting a name to a face, but it's striking enough that it gives him pause before he answers.]

Thank you...I think I know what you're talking about. You certainly have an apt name for it.

[In any case, his tone makes it clear that he has very little experience with technology like that.]

I saw it twice, actually. I don't completely understand how they did it, but I do remember it, yes.

[johnnyjoestar]

[The guy, when he finally climbed out of the bag, was eerily familiar, yet Johnny was certain he'd never seen the man in his life. Maybe it was his eyes- they were a lot like Nick's.

At any rate, he seemed to be new. Poor bastard. What the hell he'd been doing in a sack for dead bodies that had his name on it, only CERES knew for sure. The guy was polite, almost obnoxiously so, for someone who'd been stuck in a bag among a buncha hopefully fake dead bodies.]

I guess you're new then. They show that to everyone, but didn't make a lick of sense to me when I got here.

[How to explain this when he still struggled to grasp how it all worked.]

The short of it is something like... if we find the way out, we get back to the city; it's a sorta colony they set up here for everyone. I'll explain the rest when we get that far if you want. The people runnin' this place got a pretty messed up sense of humor, so I dunno how long we oughta stay here.

[He pulled out the slightly rumpled tag that'd been on the outside of the bag and held it up from where he sat in his wheelchair, high enough that the man could reach to pick it up.]

They seem to think you're Johnathan Joestar.

[theshiningone]

... Awww! My bubble's been completely popped!

[There's a laugh from getting a small blush sticker out from him. He was a cute fellow, though... Hiro wouldn't want to go too far and make him mad with his trolling. He didn't look like the kind of guy to be on the wrong side of. Even if Hiro's biology wasn't human anymore... He knew never to underestimate them.]

Just relax! I'm poking some innocent fun at you... Anything to loosen up the tense atmosphere we've got here.

[atlasrising]

[ Oh god. Rhys already has more than enough stuff to worry about with the code. Thinking about monsters or anything would make this nightmare a million times worse. He'll just focus on what's in front of him, and not the fact that their code is breaking down with every passing moment. Or the fact that there's monsters lurking somewhere around here. Or that for some reason, he feels like there's something watching them...

Maybe it's good to get his head spun into something else. ]

S-So. Where...are you from? [ Of course, this guy is going to say places that Rhys is totally unfamiliar with. This whole "worlds" thing is such an oddity. ] Or should I ask when?

...No, where's good enough. I think.
